.NET Constructor Call

Call a constructor in a .Net assembly.

Inputs

The number and types of the inputs are determined when the assembly file name, the type name and the constructor name have been specified. They are determined by reflection and are the parameters of the constructor.

Outputs

The output type is determined when the assembly file name, the type name and the constructor name have been specified. It is determined by reflection and is of the selected type.

Comments

The parameters that specify which constructor to call are only editable when the ports of the node are not connected.

The first parameter is the filename of the assembly that contains the static method. You can use the browse button to browse to the desired assembly. An example of an assembly that you can try is: C:\Program Files (x86)\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework\.NETCore\v4.5.1\mscorlib.dll.

The second parameter is the class that contains the constructor, prefixed by its namespace, i.e. System.Version.

The third parameter is the constructor to call, i.e. GetEnvironmentVariable.

Once all parameters have been specified, and it is clear which constructor to call, the title of the node will adapt and show a more suitable name.

Here is an example that calls the constructor Version(Int32 major, Int32 minor) from the System.Version class in the mscorlib.dll assembly.

The example reads the value of the windir environment value and returns the string C:\Windows.
